Introduction
Our
bodies
are
remarkable
feats
of
interactions
and
complexity.
We
perform
most
actions
without
thinking
about
all
the
coordination
and
mechanics
that
go
on
in
our
body.
Why
do
we
need
to
eat
and
sleep?
How
much
do
we
need
to
eat?
How
much
energy
do
we
use?
What
affects
our
energy
levels?
How
quickly
can
our
body
convert
the
food
we
eat
to
energy?
Starches,
fats,
and
protein
take
time
to
be
converted
to
energy.
In
this
WebQuest
you
will
develop
an
understanding
of
the
concepts
and
topics
related
to
the
human
body
to
aid
you
in
understanding
the
body’s
energy
needs
and
how
various
organ
systems
contribute
to
energy
transformation
in
the
human
body
for
the
Human
Body:
Energy
Needs
and
Energy
Transformation
unit.

blood
brings
______
,
__________
,
____________________,

__________________
the
body
needs
to
live
and
grow.
5. _______
from
the
liver
and
_______________________
from
the
pancreas
help

be
absorbed
and
__________________
around
your
body
and
bloodstream.
6. Where
is
feces
formed?
7. Describe
the
process
that
occurs
during
digestion.

(energy
from
food)
and
output
(energy
used
up),
and
energy
transformation.
